To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Crazy Ex Girlfriend is just perfect for me all weird and messed up with Broadway style music. and the diagnosis song from last season was the best thing ever.

I have made two onerous phone calls, made my lists door what I need for Fathers Day Brunch, and now I'm out to do errands with Thessaly.

My attempt at getting through a TV backlog is currently making my way through Leverage.

A+ life choice.

I don't really watch TV either, but I almost hate to say it because I don't regard it as some sort of virtue.

I hear that, Gud. I've forced myself to schedule in things like reading and catching up on TV and movies, because if I don't, I'll never get to it. Of course, it's easier for me because I'm only taking care of myself.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I find that I'm watching more PBS than anything else ... and, realizing that, I gave them some money (got a Dr. Who mug!).

Our wings are not tired

I don't really watch TV either, but I almost hate to say it because I don't regard it as some sort of virtue. I just don't have time. I think consuming other people's creative output is a great thing no matter the medium.

This. So much this.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Leverage may be the perfect tv series, from several points of view. As much as I miss it, I think it ended at the perfect point in time, and in the characters' lives.

Longmire is another favorite. The landscape is actually a character in much the way the mountains were in Brokeback Mountain. Those characters would be vastly different and the stories would be too, in another environment. Plus, Saracen's Grandma is the office manager!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Plus, Saracen's Grandma is the office manager!

That just makes me want to rewatch FNL.

The second season of Penny Dreadful is very strong. Third season less so.

The second season of Penny Dreadful is probably the best. Third season has some great parts, but the showrunner's interviews about how it was always planned for only three seasons are obvious lies, because no one introduces dangling plot points unless they're sowing seeds for upcoming seasons. Also, when I rewatch PD, I don't watch the last episode.

My attempt at getting through a TV backlog is currently making my way through Leverage. I'm in S3. This show is a goddamn DELIGHT.

YES. Hey, where are you watching it? It left Netflix, is it on Hulu?

Nope, it left Hulu, too, so I'm buying the seasons on Amazon, which is cool, because I'm going to want to rewatch them.
